Mean Mary (Part 4)

Thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for posting the music video of Mean Mary James and her brother Frank James performing her version of the classic folk song "Cripple Creek" in benefit for WSLR.ORG. live from Fogartyville Community Media and Arts Center in Sarasota, Florida.

Cripple Creek
Her opening lyrics she added a couple stanzas
"I got a guy and she loves me
He’s as sweet as sweet can be
He’s got eyes of baby blue
Makes my gun shoot straight and true.

Goin’ up Cripple Creek goin’ in a run
Goin’ up Cripple Creek to have some fun.

Cripple Creek’s wide and Cripple Creek’s deep
I’ll wade old Cripple Creek before I sleep
Roll my breeches to my knees
I’ll wade ol’ Cripple Creek when I please"

I went down to Cripple Creek
To see what them girls had to eat
I got drunk and fell against the wall
Old corn likker was the cause of it all
